Ghost Light keyboardist Holly Bowling has shared full-show audio from her solo performance at The Hamilton in September of 2019.
The show is made up entirely of covers exclusively by the Grateful Dead and Phish, with the one exception of Led Zeppelin‘s “No Quarter” in set one. Bowling paid tribute to the jam figureheads by weaving together iconic segues, including a first set “Mikes Song” > “We Are Hydrogen” > “Weekapaug Groove” that took up the entire first set. Each song was split up between Dead covers beginning with “The Wheel” and “Bird Song”, with the aforementioned “No Quarter” breaking up the “Groove” to end the first set.
The second set continued the segue theme by kicking off the classic movement of “Help On The Way” > “Slipknot!” > “Franklin’s Tower”. Once again, this medley was interspersed with other covers, including “Free”, “Estimated Prophet”, “Dirt”, “Mercury”, and “The Wheel”. Finally, Bowling rounded out her second set with the penultimate “Slipknot!”, which segued into a “Franklin’s Tower” finale.
For the encore, Bowling returned to the stage with a tender “Brokedown Palace” to close the show.
